Troubleshooting Overview
PCI FDDI problems can be caused by problems in a variety of hardware
and software components. The problem impacting your system may
originate in another part of the PCI FDDI network.
As with any troubleshooting, a systematic approach is helpful. The
following table and flowcharts provide a logical sequence of steps to
follow when troubleshooting PCI FDDI. Using the diagnostic flowcharts
provided in this chapter, identify whether the problem is with PCI FDDI
or any of the connections to the switch, or whether it is in some other
part of the network, verify your assumptions, and if it is limited to PCI
FDDI software or hardware, correct the problem.
If you cannot solve the problem on your own, contact your HP
representative. The guidelines at the end of Chapter 1 help you
effectively communicate what is wrong. The PCI FDDI adapter uses
diagnostic tools compatible with the HP LAN/9000 Link product.
Man Pages
While installing, configuring or troubleshooting PCI FDDI, you may need
to refer to any of the online manual reference pages (man pages) for
useful HP-UX operating system or PCI FDDIcommands.
To display a man page, type the following at the system prompt:
man <command name>
The HP-UX man page references are located on the HP website:
